american-journal-of-respiratory-and-critical-care-medicine
Use when targeting the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine or deciding whether a respiratory, critical-care, or sleep study fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit across clinical-translational-basic science, the mechanistic and evidence bar, reporting-guideline and registration requirements, ATS house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics. Venue-fit aid only, not clinical advice.

# American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine (american-journal-of-respiratory-and-critical-care-medicine) ## Journal positioning The American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine (AJRCCM, the American Thoracic Society "Blue Journal") is the ATS flagship, publishing high-impact research across the full respiratory–critical-care–sleep spectrum and across the full evidence spectrum: definitive clinical trials and cohorts, translational mechanism, and basic pulmonary, vascular, and immunologic science. Its defining expectation is a **conceptually important advance in lung biology, respiratory/critical-illness disease mechanism, or pulmonary/sleep clinical care** — not an incremental single-center series or a descriptive cohort with no mechanistic or practice-changing yield. Because it spans bench to bedside, AJRCCM tolerates basic and translational work that a purely clinical respiratory journal would not. This skill is a **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** aid; it is not clinical or regulatory advice and does not replace the journal's current instructions for authors. Before submitting, re-check the live AJRCCM author instructions. ## When to trigger -

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill american-journal-of-respiratory-and-critical-care-medicine --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills, a repository with 909 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
